04 August, 2024 10:28

Hezbollah has said it launched dozens of rockets at Israel as tensions in the Middle East soared with Iran and its allies reading their response to the assassination of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh.

US President Joe Biden, amid fears of a regional war, voiced hoped that Iran would stand down despite its threats to attack Israel.

Hezbollah said it launched rocket attacks on Israel’s Moshav Beit Hillel injuring civilians there. The group also said it was a retaliatory attack to Israel’s strikes on Kfar Kela and Deir Siriane in Lebanon and after an Israeli strike in Beirut killed Fuad Shukr.

International media report claimed that no loss was reported in Hezbollah attack.

US and Israeli officials said they had expected Iran to attack Israel as early as Monday.

Meanwhile, the US embassy in Lebanon has urged its citizens to leave the country on “any ticket available”, amid fears of all-out war between Israel and Hezbollah and a broader regional conflict.

Despite flight suspensions and cancellations, commercial transportation options to leave Lebanon remain available”, it said in a statement.

“We encourage those who wish to depart Lebanon to book any ticket available to them, even if that flight does not depart immediately or does not follow their first-choice route.”

Meanwhile, the UK government has also urged its nationals present in Lebanon to leave the country immediately.
